The film and its soundtrack are credited with dramatically increasing the mainstream popularity of country music, and the pop-influenced style which it featured would go on to dominate the country charts for most of the 1980s. It was followed into the top spot by Honeysuckle Rose, the soundtrack to the film of the same name, which consisted primarily of songs by Willie Nelson, the film's star.
